UNITED STATES PATENT FFTCE.

LEVI LINCOLN, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.

CONSTRUCTION OF MOLASSES GATES AND COGKS FOR DRAWING LIQUORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 2,342, dated November 10, 1841; Ressued January 25, 1848, No. 105.

To LZZ Lu/wmj t may concern Be it known that l, LEVI LINCOLN, of Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Molasses-Grates and Liquor-Cocks; and 1 do declare that the following,` is a full and exact description.

The nature of my invention consists in the use of a lever of the second kind, in the room and stead of the sliding gate, as heretofore used.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

An arm, a, Figure l, in the accompanying drawing, which is intended as a part of this specification, is made to pro-ject at right angies from the front end of the screw tube Z), for the purpose of furnishing a center c, for the lever cZ. This lever and also the arm o, are widened at the opening of the outlet of the screw tube as at e, e, to afford sufficient surface to insure the perfect closing,` of the outlet, which is effected by the lever being slid down over it, being` kept in close contact with the opening by the segment f', which is adjustable by the three screws g, L, and z', the lastI serving also as a center on which the lever turns. lWhen intended for a liquor cock, l cast a projection 7c, Fig. Q, on the lever opposite the outlet; through this projection, communication is made with the outlet as shown at Z, Z, Fig. 3, which shows the reverse side of the lever. The dotted circle m, coincides with the outlet or openin` of the screw tube Z), when the said opening is closed, or when the lever is in the position represented at Fig. 2.

That l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the lever CZ, with the segment adjustable by the screws g, Zz., and z', as set forth in the above specification.
